Oh? Can you give me a reason for that statement?Apparently they weren’t thorough.No, the third audit is ongoing. I gave you the 2 previous ones.Maricopa audit is ongoing.Bullshit. No audits. Just recounts of fraudulent votes. Everything else was dismissed either out of partisan concerns or safety concerns.I don't accept election results on their face. I accept them after they are counted. After legal challenges have been adjudicated and after the various bipartisan election boards have certified the results.Lighten up, Francis.I've seen a lot of people on this board, including me putting their 2 cents in on what happened on 6/1. A few days ago I came to a bit of a weird realization for myself.
I came to realise that by focusing on the very visible, spectacular and tragic events, the true meaning of what occured has been missed.
In my opinion it's not all that important if 6/1 was a coup, insurgency, riot, demonstration or picnic. In fact 6/1 is not the most important thing that should be remembered.
What should be remembered is the precedent set by Trump. For the first time in the history of the US, the losing candidate of a presidential campaign didn't just fail to concede he lost, but actively tried to get those of his party to ignore those results and try to get power that way.
He tried to get the Georgia Secretary of State to "find him votes". He tried state assemblies to designate electors with the express purpose of getting them to elect him and not the winner of the certified election results. He tried to get his own VP to refuse to certify the results and tried to get the house and senate to do the same.
This bears repeating. Trump tried in almost every way to get him and not the winner of the election to take power.
II know that many of you believe the election was fraudulent. I obviously don't agree. I want you to realise though that if you support the precedent that as long as you claim the election was fraudulent the loser of an election can take steps to ignore those results other than actually making your case in court, the US will no longer be a functioning Democracy.
Real Americans want an accountability of that obviously fraudulent election. That means an audit.
Those who accept those election results on their face are dishonest. They’re the ones who truly threaten a functioning democracy.
Your "obviously fraudulent" elections went through that entire process, including recounts and several audits.
This kind of touches on the premise of the OP.
You are perfectly happy completely disregarding what it means to live in a representative Democracy, namely adherence to how the law provides for the challenging of election results.
These aren't audits?
